BOOK REVIEW:

CORINA’S REVIEW

I love Sarina Bowen’s M/M books. They are just so heartwarming beautiful and emotional. Every time I read one of her M/M novels I swoon. Litterally swoon. The amount of heartfelt emotions that these books evoke in me, especially between the main characters, guts me every single time.

Axel and Caxton were both so incredibly wonderful.

They were amazing human beings, that loved each other deeply and ardently. The met as children and from there on every year they connected and build a lasting friendship at a church summer camp until they finally acted on their feelings. Life can be cruel and that’s exactly what happened. Axel and Caxton were caught and ripped apart. Neither forgot the other, but hurt feelings and broken hearts prevented them from finding each other until a certain basketball game.

Axel, an openly gay marketing major, took a chance after he saw Caxton on TV and accepted an offer from a small town university in hopes to cross path with Cax. As it happens, his wishes were granted.

Unfortunately Caxton was in a much more complicated time of his life. After he was caught fooling around with Axel, his father gave him an ultimatum – stop being gay or be denied access to his younger brothers. For Cax there really was no choice – his brothers came first.

It was heartachingly beautiful to read about Caxton’s struggle, his selflessness and love for his brothers knew no bounds nor limits. He would have given up another 6 years of his life just to be there for them. I ached for him!!!!!

Sarina Bowen has an incredible skill to write the most moving and tenderhearted heroes. Axel as well ad Caxton were absolutely lovable and adorable together. I loved them so much!! Together, and as individuals. AND – OMG – we had a Josh and Caleb cameo. I almost screamed in delight.

I hope the author will continue writing M/M because her books are some of my favorites and continue to evoke such deep feelings in me that other books only can dream about.

Hello Forever – Sarina Bowen

BLURB

Skye Copeland is on paid leave from her broadcasting job after accidentally drawing a pecker on the traffic map.

Let that sink in. Like it’s her fault the traffic pattern created a perfect schlong?

Skye isn’t laughing. She needs this job. And that’s the only reason she’s willing to chase down a story in her least favorite place—that hell on earth known as Vermont.

A quick trip. In and out. Much like – never mind. She can sneak into the town that once tried to break her, get the story and slide back into the good graces of her producer. Easy peasy.

But things go sideways the moment she steps over the county line. Her stepsister is running from a violent drug dealer. And the cop on the case is none other than Benito Rossi, the man who broke Skye’s teenage heart.

His dark brown eyes still tear her apart. And even as she steels herself to finally tell him off after twelve years, the old fireworks are still there.
